Snoop says fukk ROOTS, calls for boycott of show

[Raava]

Gods of Egypt is not the only movie depicting Egyptians as white.

Gods of Egypt and Egyptians has nothing to do with this. That arguement should not even be part of the importance of the new generations benefits of seeing Roots. Furthermore were egyptians taken as part of the Transatlantic slave trade? No. That is not my history.

He's calling for the boycott of the movie. Not the history behind it

His reasoning, which in the clip itself was contradictory, is about boycotting history. He is tired of it being brought up. Again, that arguement should not even be part of the importance of the new generations benefits of seeing Roots in this form. I previously said why.

And snoop is actually in works to bring out a show right now depicting exactly what he called for.

Good I hope he does, I hope we all watch and it is truthful and positive. I can do that and still disagree with his stance here.

You brought up that movie not me.

I said that Hollywood is uncomfortable with "black" movies unless the black people are suffering.

You decided to start playing dumb

He never said anything about boycotting history. You made that up.

Yes me must protect the purity of blacks as slaves. .. .

But not at all make movies about. .. .the buffalo soldiers, matthew henson, or even if we're going to talk slavery, how about more narratives!

Nicodemus, Kansas for example. .

And stop acting like there aren't black people who don't boycott ignorant rap.

Most black people are watching these slaves movies ad nasuem... few people are boycotting.

Memorial Day is black history. Why shouldn't I take the day off

Yes it does. If all the new generation gets to see is black people getting beat and mistreated, with no balance, then yes that's very damaging to them.

They never see black kings and queens. Never get to see modern happy black families. But they have images of black people suffering fed to them.

Roots is black history and about salvery it shouldn't be aired on Memorial day? Did you read what I said?

"Slave movies" are waaaayyy down the list of things that are harmful for Black youth, have a listen to the music these kids listen to or the movies they watch if you're looking for something that's "harmful".

Black kids might watch Roots once in their entire lives and listen to destructive music every day of the week.

Memorial Day has turned into a day to celebrate in remembrance of those lost, not a day to mourn.

I can understand the sentiment of not wanting to spend your day off watching black people suffer.

But I also understand why it was aired on Memorial day

Yeah breh, black on black crime is chief keefs fault

Your daily reminger black on black crimes heyday was the 70's. Full of heartwarming lyrics of black love

I guess they was crippin to the temptations, eh?

There haven't been any shows about modern sucessful black people? There haven't been movies about the positive things in our history? Boyce just complained about the Pursuit of Happiness None about Modern black families? A Different World. The Hugleys, Blackish, My wife and kids, Living single, Girlfriends, Rosewood (TV), Being Mary jane, Everybody Hates Chris, Sisters in Law, The Carmichael show etc... Not to mention others being in leading powerful, positive roles in other shows. The issue is there not being more and those shows having viewer support. The issues are reality TV depicting us negatively.

The issues are not Roots.
